I died as a hardcore gamer, only to open my eyes in a cultivation fantasy I once played. Not as the hero. Not even as a helpful mentor. or a big villian... But as the cannon fodder destined to die before the first act even concludes.
I recognize this world instantly—the sprawling mansions of nobility, the immortal sects hidden in misty mountains, the power hierarchy where cultivators stand above common folk. I've played through this story dozens of times, defeated every hidden boss, unlocked every secret ending. And now I'm trapped inside it, wearing the skin of the game's first villain.
My position? The worthless young master of a prestigious family, universally despised yet secretly possessing a dormant bloodline that nobody in-game ever discovered because this character dies too quickly.
But something is wrong. Characters are behaving differently than they did in the game. Events are unfolding in unexpected ways. The cold beauty who should immediately despise me seems strangely interested in my skills. The vixen villianess who orchestrated my demise now studies me with curiosity.
Is my presence changing the storyline? Or was there always more to this world than what players could see through their screens?
With each deviation from the script I memorized, my meta-knowledge becomes less reliable. Yet it remains my greatest weapon as I navigate political intrigue, forge unlikely alliances, and desperately work to awaken powers that were never meant to be unlocked by a character designed only to die.
I refuse to be expendable. I reject the role assigned to me. In a world where destiny is supposedly predetermined, I will rewrite the algorithm itself—or break the entire system trying.

Another chapter and all the debt has been paied :3


As a fox demon, Yuebai possessed peak Nascent Soul realm cultivation, half a step into Divine Transformation. Though her innate talent might not match Jinyue's, Yuebai's illusions excelled in stability and duration. Normally, unless facing a cultivator at Divine Transformation realm or above, it was difficult to discern Yuebai's true identity.


Though not a permanent solution, it was sufficient to deal with Xumo in the medium term!


He said after resolving his troubles in the Western Region, he would return to the Central Plains and help Yuebai escape from the Jianlan Sect...


Though Yino had made similar promises to Ruoning, quite the playboy, whenever Yuebai thought of this promise, she still held hope for a genuine life at the Jianlan Sect.
